Go North East: Service Suggestions v2
Go North East: Service Suggestions v2
Just a thought I had following the upcoming service changes from the 1st of June, it seems that the replacement of the 88/88a with the 9 and 26 hasn't really worked and as such I'd propose chopping and changing a few routes that are at a loose end as a result of the changes. The section of the 9 from Jarrow to Lukes Lane would be added on the 26 (essentially recreating the 88) allowing the H1/H2 hospital services to be withdrawn. Meanwhile the southern section of the 9 could be linked up with X6/7 now that they've been disconnected from the X20. Connections would be available between both services at Jarrow bus station with generous layovers to account for delays.
Service 26 - South Shields - Jarrow - Lukes Lane
Essentially service 88/88a brought back but at the present half hourly frequencies, replaces services H1/H2.

Service X6/7 - Peterlee - Sunderland - Jarrow
The X6/7 extended to Jarrow in place of service 9. If the services are permanently removed from the X-lines network then would instead be numbered the 9A/B
